I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who have participated in these World Cup Pre-Game/In Game threads from the experts to the novices. It has made this World Cup much more enjoyable and hopefully profitable for our members, posters, and viewers. With that said, no longer analysis. Just one word "Defense". Feel free to share your thoughts, comments, and picks. I'll start off.

Italy/France Under 1.5 and 2 (-136)

I have a small wager on France in regulation, but I'm not touching the under at this price.

Over 1.5 at -107 is a gift. 14 of 16 previous WC Finals went over the total and these games are traditionally more open. If someone scores in the first half, this game will go over.

Just for fun I made a play on the over. I'd rather review the gals of world cup thread then the game itself, I'll pip or split screen it between the Baseball games.
 

I think I want my money back!

Possibility with a PK or 2.

Exactly! W/ the Under as it's set up here, one's getting slammed twice:
1. The low number set
2. The really low odds paid.

And blindly taking value instead of picking a side, throws an overall positive ROI:
FRA +244(Matchbook) or -1 700-800+ are not bad bets: Fra needs to only win 29 times out of 100 to throw a profit with the former. Conversely, ITA needs to win 10 more times per 100.
If you're ready to say ITA wins(ties lose) at least 4/5 times out of each 10 they meet, go for it.

How many balls hit a post during a game on average?
It will only take one blown call, an own goal, one slip of the goalkeeper, one convincing dive, one accidental hit on a challenge...& you're practically toast.

Such an under bet would be masochistic: may as well skip serving any booze & instead pour Mylanta on the rocks to everyone.

I'll try the O1.5, as HW mentioned finals have produced at least a couple more often then not. Not super confident but I think there is some value due to the fact all the low scoring quarters/semi's have influenced this line.
